There's a few things going on here in this little all MIDI experiment. First, I wanted to show an example of artistic clipping to go with my current posts in the forums on the subject. The kettle drums in this piece clip in to the red on their…

We wanted to accompany our new track with...for lack of a better term, a b-side...so while working on this bridge piece for two other songs, we thought we'd slip it in here. rough demo...still mixing...

24-hour album. This album is a collage of several disconnected pieces recorded & mixed over 18 hours or so. I've left it as a single long track, but here's a sort of navigational guide if you want to skip around: 0:00 - 1:30 = Living…

Creedence. Not embarrassing at all.

One of my better tunes this year I think. Lyrics were meant to be an anti-"My Way". Instead of looking back on life all proud and selfassured, this is from the viewpoint of someone who has just realized he has been living his life on other peoples…

This composition is a remix/reincarnation of a [previous tune](http://alonetone.com/gcd/tracks/seven-flavors-of-milk) I wrote a while back. I wasn't ever quite satisfied with it and had neglected to incorporate a nifty additional bit of melodic…

Because I felt like it. Written by Bob Dylan.

Derivative- This one was not supposed to be on the album, but I changed my mind and worked on it. The reason for the intended omission was because the riff, which I have been playing with for a few months, just sounded so derivative of Dear Prudence…

Believe it or not, this song was written while swimming laps in the high school pool (I had to have the life-guard kid write down lines for me every time I returned from the deep end). Oddly enough, the first line I came up with was "Swimming…

still ain't done, but wanted to share progress. really grateful for the feedback. thanks!

The execution is not perfect, but the concept works.

Archtop song... usually I play this faster... Vocoder for the lyrics... Drums BFD2.

Another downer, what can I say? Oddly enough though, it makes me smile.

This song is musically and thematically related to an earlier tune from an older album called "house of strangers." That song was a plea from one partner to another about a marriage that was failing. This song comes when it becomes obvious that…

quick little mandolin number to round out my album for the year!!

The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.

I'm really not this bleak... I was just looking for an excuse to use that VU/JAMC/The National drumbeat!
